Electromechanics is a field that has been investigated for a long time. However, it remains the subject of constant technological innovation.

The electromechanical engineer has a training integrating the fundamental and current aspects of electricity and mechanics.

It designs and tests installations and electronic elements used in several sectors such as energy, aviation, communication, computing or telecommunications, the medical field, automation, energy, etc To this end, he estimates manufacturing costs, supervises the manufacture, assembly, verification and maintenance of products, supervises the assembly of prototypes and the manufacture, testing and installation of electronic devices with a view to ensure high quality manufacturing. He is also responsible for drafting guides for the evaluation, operation and maintenance of installations and electronic elements.
He ensures that the product designed meets safety and quality standards as well as technical specifications.

The fields of application of this versatile engineer are very wide.

Thus, in the field of hydraulics, for example, he deals with the study of projects for the installation of hydroelectric power stations as well as site monitoring until the acceptance of the works. He can also monitor installations over time for periodic inspections and maintenance. During the study of the project, he goes to the site of the future installation to discuss with the customer, take photos and measurements. In particular, he measures the current water flow, which will enable him to estimate the energy production, the profitability of the site, the appropriate type of technology, the sizing of the machines, etc. He takes the time to dialogue with his client both at the both technical and financial. When the project is launched, he supervises the work of technicians and workers during the installation of the installations.

Professional setting

The electromechanical engineer practices either as an independent by creating his own company, or as an employee within the company of someone else. He works partly in the field and partly in the office. He juggles with different technical materials and can get his hands dirty when working on site. Depending on the size of the project, he may be required to manage work teams. The engineer often works in a team, and maintains relations with many interlocutors: customers, suppliers, colleagues, employees, technicians and workers.
Opportunities are numerous: design and design offices, organization and management, maintenance, testing services, engineering office, etc.
